An American walking through Scotland stops in at a lakeside tavern for a drink.Sitting at the end of the bar is a huge, sullen man, obviously roaring drunk. He sees the newcomer and says, "Aye, laddie! Y'see that boat out there on the lake? I built that boat with me own 'ands! But do they call me McGregor the BOAT BUILDER? Naaaay!"
The American blinks, but the Scotsman goes on:
"Y'see the dock out there, which sticks into the lake? Well, I built that dock with me own 'ands! But do they call me McGregor the DOCK BUILDER?! Naaaaaay!"
With a full head of steam, the Scotsman stands up and jabs a finger at the bar. "This BAR, Laddie, this very BAR, I built it with me own 'ands! This PUB! Every 'ouse in the whole village! I built them ALL with me own 'ANDS! But do they call me McGregor the Builder? Naaaaay! Naaaay they DON'T!"
At that, the man collapses back down on his barstool and begins sobbing loudly.
The American looks at the bartender, who gives a dissmissive wave.
"Ne'er mind him," the bartender says, "That's just McGregor the SHEEP SHAGGER!"
Keep shaggin' them sheep, folks, but don't be upset when that's how the world views you.
